The hospital that I contract for is looking at new equipment and Insoware is under consideration along with Medquist (which use to be Lanier).  If you have any information on these systems, please e-mail me.

Thanks

It is our understanding that many MTs are being solicited at all hours of the day and night by this company.

not sure of the full name, but something like Sierra Legal Transcription, perhaps. Maybe you could still locate it on the archives on the job board. 

Heads up warning! A company called DictaCall posted a classified ad
here yesterday claiming great cost savings. After researching the company, I have found that the company is overseas in India and is offering the identical rate structure as another US voice service.  There is absolutely no cost savings whatsoever and anyone using their voice system would be calling into a toll free number where the voice file would end up on a server in Calcutta, West Bengal, India. 

What does this mean to you, the transcription service?
1. HIPAA compliance is compromised.
2. Your client information is at risk. Offshore entities can come in try to undercut you and take your business.
3. In case of outage, you're stuck if you can't get in touch with technical support.

I could go on, but I think you can probably see the same big problems that I see.

doing that, but that does not mean that they won't.  Here are some obstacles to your idea:  1) To edit a report, you have to listen to the original dictation along with it.  It is not just reading the report.  It sounds like listening to dictation would be new territory for you.  It is not a piece of cake.  2) I don't know of any companies that would have enough dictation specifically regarding eye care coming through to keep you busy enough.  3) If you wanted employee status to earn benefits, you would most likely have to keep to a schedule which would mean you could not do the work in between patients then finish in the evening.  4) I don't think you could get your foot very far through the door without having to take a transcription test, which you most likely could not pass unless you have transcription experience.  5) Companies hire editors/QA because of the years of transcription experience they have under their belt.  I don't think your experience as an optometrist would qualify. 

Good luck to you and your new practice. 

Has anybody worked or work for Transcript USA.  They seem to be a good company, but I can't find any info on I-net other than their site (good or bad). Just like someone else's opinion about them. 

Does anyone have any current information about Transcript USA, Spheris, or AccuSTAT of Wisconsin?  I have13+ years and I'm looking to leave my current employer (six years at a national).  My eyes are swimming trying to figure out the ins and outs of these companies.

Thanks so much!!

They can't provide anything in writing.

Nobody knows anything - keep telling you to call your supervisor.

I smell something worse than New Orleans coming from NJ.

Old company, let me go before two weeks was up.  New company, said they were having trouble getting me set up and my equipment ready, but they would pay me while I waited.  It's been a month, still no check from new company even though I was told it was "in the mail."  I have no income and am at a loss. 

I have a signed offer letter from the new company, contracts, etc.  I applied for unemployment, but old company is saying I quit and technically I am currently employed with the new company!  New company is not returning calls or answering email.

What should I do!?!?!?!

I started sending my resume out today, but the process of getting a new job will take at least two weeks and I need money now to catch up on what I'm behind!

That might explain why I didn't get such good results on my search.

business and just interviewed them before you applied so they could interview you?  Does that make sense.?   I may have an in-house transcription job.  They told me that everything was looking in my favor, but they are still interviewing and will let me know for sure Friday.  They offered a pretty good wage and I would take it but if I can find something closer to home even if a little less pay I would go for that too.   I have been looking into businesses that have nothing to do with transcription.  I am thinking about calling the local banks and seeing if there are any entry-level positions available for data entry, administrative assisting, clerk.  I don't have an accounting degree of business degree, just extensive computer knowledge that transcription requires. I really don't know what to ask for to tell the truth.  The local banks never advertise for help but I do see new people in there from time to time. 

I have also been looking to get my CNA certificate renewed which I may just do.  I was going to call the nursing homes here and see what the starting pay would be, what the patient/aide ratio is, what the hours would be like. 

To tell the truth, I am not making it with these home jobs.  I have already been through 3 companies.  I never had a work history like that before.  Before I came home, I stayed with 1 place for 8 years, then another place for 6 years before that.  I hate jumping around and most of all, I hate babysitting my computer for work.  I want 8 hours then be done.
